In recent decades, there has been a significant increase in instances of workplace sexual harassment and gender discrimination within professional environments. Workplace sexual harassment is a term used in legal contexts to refer to repeated and unwelcome sexual conduct that includes verbal, physical, psychological, and visual aspects. It is important to note that workplace sexual harassment often involves actions that can lead to humiliation, insult, and potential harm. The aforementioned conduct encompasses acts of gender harassment, unwelcome sexual attention, and sexual coercion. The spectrum of behaviors encompasses a variety of actions, including but not limited to making sexually suggestive remarks, sharing explicit imagery, and displaying hostility, all with the intention of devaluing the victims involved. The prevalence of harassment exhibits variation in research outcomes as a result of methodological disparities. Workplace sexual harassment is a prevalent issue that is often underreported due to concerns about potential retaliation. The present abstract underscores the significant issue of underreporting. In order to formulate comprehensive prevention and management strategies, it is imperative to have a thorough understanding of underlying factors such as power imbalances, stereotypes, cultural norms, and limited awareness. Proactive measures encompass the implementation of comprehensive anti- harassment policies, educational initiatives, and the cultivation of respectful and inclusive work environments. The practice of effective management encompasses several key elements, including but not limited to transparent reporting, maintaining confidentiality, conducting unbiased investigations, and providing support to victims. The importance of conducting research, promoting awareness, and fostering collaboration cannot be overstated when it comes to establishing secure and inclusive work environments. The occurrence of workplace sexual harassment has significant effects on various aspects of employment, including employee retention, absenteeism, workplace dynamics, and overall well-being. Discussions, which have historically faced societal disapproval, garnered worldwide attention following the emergence of the "MeToo"movement in 2017.The purpose of this research is to evaluate the consequences experienced by victims and the efficacy of current policies and legal provisions in the realm of employment.
